The car is in working order; I've been driving it every day. However, it could use some work. The charger is not 100% reliable: it occasionally goes to the finishing cycle prematurely. There is some corrosion on the battery interconnects and under the hood due to acid. The wooden frame around the back 2 batteries should be replaced. The hood does not open and close smoothly. The door seals leak water on the passenger side. There is some rust on the body, but it seems structurally sound. Extensive front brake and suspension work was done in 2003.

$2000 or best offer.
